Developer Renaker is targeting November 2019 to submit a hybrid planning application for three towers of between 41 and 50 stories at Salford’s Greengate. Renderings have been revealed of the first of three towers as part of a detailed planning application.

The scheme around Collier Street and Greengate would be developed in phases. The first tower of 50 stories, made up of 559 apartments, is subject to the detailed element of the application, alongside the creation of a public park. Outline permission is requested for the other two towers, although design details are yet to be defined.

Overall, the project could deliver up to 1,521 flats.

At a public consultation, Renaker said there would be “three separate phases of development taking the form of three distinct, striking towers, ranging from 41 to 50 stories.”

The developer is hoping for planning consent by March 2020, in order to start on site, the following April.

Designed by OMI Architects, the glass-clad tower includes a three-story brick podium level, in order to create a neighborhood at street level, with uses expected to be amenity spaces, bars, restaurants, and shops.

The first phase of the scheme would be on a car park site next to the Abito building, and would see the creation of the park and a residential tower.
